Got up and got a wonderful reward..my running partner was there!! She wants to get up early..it's just hard with three little kids who keep you up all night. For some reason her baby has started waking up alot...I'm guessing he's teething...that always ruins my best sleepers. We had a good time chatting for a bit..two miles goes by fast. I think when I'm with her we run around 11 min mile which feels fast to me after all my deliciously slow 12's. Came home to find a fun running group for Sasha. I remember when we lived in our other house and he had trouble finding partners for some reason. I think for a whole winter we went to the Provo Canyon Trail in the mountains together everyday. He would run while the kids and I played in the snow or snacked in the car and then I would run while he loaded them up and drove them home. It worked okay and not that I don't enjoy the company of my family...it just felt like sometimes we were the only people on the face of the earth. We never saw anyone up there...where were they? Skiing? Shopping? Can't figure why anyone else didn't want to run in the freezing cold. Sasha is always happier when he has running friends and I'm happy for him. My favorite partner for him was Ted..Army Runner...that man is the most punctual, most regular partner in the universe for sure. We knew that if he was more than 3 minutes late that that meant he was not coming. I was always grateful for Sasha to have a friend in the morning...he's happier..I'm happier...it's all good. :) |
